How to track mailto clicks in an email

I am sending emails via Mailgun using a django backend.

Mailgun sends me back webhooks with information about url clicks in the email. However they do NOT ping me back about mailto clicks. I asked their support team and they confirmed this is expected behavior and they only track "urls"... which the mailto is not considered as.

example: <a href="mailto:test@test.com"> Reply</a>

How can i actually track mailto clicks in my email, what have people done in the past?

I looked at the mailgun event logs and noticed none of the mailto clicks are registered.
